Drink Local
We see “dive bars” differently. Reed’s has a classic dive-bar aesthetic, kitschy decor, bubble hockey and local art. Yet we’re also a family business committed to creating a unique space that caters to the Avondale community. Our motto—Drink Local—means more than just patronizing your neighborhood bar. It’s a venue to gather with friends to play trivia or one of our vintage board games behind the bar. It’s a spot to meet new friends at our Open Mic Comedy nights or Karaoke. It’s a place to try a craft beer from a local brewery or a quirky cocktail named after a horror movie. On a budget? We’re pretty much known for the $4 “Three Eyed Crow” Combo—a can of Hamm’s with a shot of Old Crow.
